So a girl walks up to me at work today and says, "I found this in the bathroom. Is it worth anything?" and gives me a little gold thing about the size and width of a sequin you might find on a teeny-bopper's purse, only with the quarter- and half-eagle Indian design on it. The more I looked at it, the more genuinely gold in color it looked, but it felt and sounded (when it hit the counter) really cheap. The last thing I noticed was that on the reverse it said "COPY". I let the girl have it in hopes she might just throw it on the ground and I could take it but she held on to it. Does anyone know what it could have been? I seriously doubt, though, that someone would bring in tiny stamped piece of gold leaf into a skating rink...

If it had a hole in it it could be a part of an outfit.

The trappings of a very cunning mind..

I looked for that, I was thinking it was part of a belt or something, but no. I suppose I will forever have to live with that nagging at the back of my mind. I did lecture the little girl about the incuse design while she was up there, not that she really cared

it sounds like one of those reproduction California gold tokens... some of those are gold... but it could be something else
